Lumber God 2x4 SPF No. 2 Dimensional Lumber, Kiln Dried
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
This contractor-ready summary covers the workhorse 2x4 framing platform in 8, 10, 12, and 16 ft lengths. SPF No. 2 is the standard light framing species group across North American wall assemblies: straight, light, easy to nail and fasten, and dimensionally stable after kiln drying to 19 percent maximum moisture content. Nominal 2x4 stock finishes at an actual 1.5 in. x 3.5 in. section, and every length in this record shares that section, so takeoffs and plate layouts carry across the full length run.
